I am trying to connect pfsense openvpn site to site (peer to peer shared key), but upto now I could not found any traffic between client and server.

openvpn server log

Listening for incoming TCP connection on [AF_INET]192.168.1.5:1194 

openvpn client log

TCP: connect to [AF_INET]192.168.1.5:1194 failed, will try again in 5 seconds: Host is down

apart from firwall rule(WAN + OpenVpn) anything we need to configure in client side.

I followed the same firewall rule for both server and client

firewall -> rule -> WAN

firewall -> rule -> OpenVpn

Note: If you need more info please mention in comment.

Guessing maybe you still have block private networks enabled on WAN? If you're connecting in from 192.168.1.x at least, and WAN is really a LAN in your case.

On an unrelated note, it's always preferable to use UDP for VPNs unless TCP is required for some reason (can't pass UDP between client and server).

  • uncheck the option "Block private networks and loopback addresses" in wan interface, but still the client connection failed Jul 21, 2016 at 4:26
  • when I use UDP I got error "UDP RemoteLink[undef]", that is why I switch over to TCP Jul 21, 2016 at 12:15
  • That's just what you see when UDP has no connectivity, same issue, just shows differently. Has nothing to do with TCP vs. UDP. Jul 21, 2016 at 23:52
